EVO or SUBARU

[DTNS]

o nga pala, how much does a tommi makinen edition evo cost now? tsaka yung old subaru impreza wrx?

ang Evo 5 - 6.5 nasa low 1+M range. may mga old Impreza WRX, <1M na lang. mas mabilis ata mag-depreciate ang mga Impreza kaysa sa Evo.

The 22B is my favorite of all scoobies.

goodluck getting one... these are super rare!

[R-A-Y]

Yes. Really rare. I've only seen one ever since. I believe the owner doesn't bring it out that much ;d

[Benj]

And aren't 22B's all RHD?  

[rota wheels wrx]

I saw a 22b once for sale in Japan. The guy wanted a USD equivalent of 40T for it

[nukee]

silver sti with big turbo and making 300whp? without piggyback or any ecu to control it? hard to believe, all stock, except for the turbo? dynoed ba ito?

Having a big turbo really makes it easy to get to 300whp but with out an piggy or stand alone makes it really hard to believe. What did he use to tune his ride, and stock injectors pa?

[Benj]

Yup that's what they told me, dyno'd yan. I couldn't believe it din e, was asking if the car was leaning out, pero hindi daw.

[AutoPlus]

first thing displacement Evo. 2.0liter US Sti 2.5liter
with exhuast, air fliter  hp in dyno for evo. 230 to 248 hp for sti 250 to 270 hp. for troque can not compare with 2.0l vs 2.5l

Suby owners unite

[R-A-Y]

Suby owners unite

Haha Basta sumama ka next time

BTW, I think I saw a 2003 WRX for sale at 1.2M somewhere. I think it was the Manila Bulletin Classified Ads. For those who are interested maybe you can check it out

guys ano ba pros and cons nitong dalawa? yung evo apla na im talking about is from the evo 7 upto evo 9 MR at yung subaru yung bago na before the facelift at yung facelifted version na na STI version

kasi im planning PLAN palang to get either one e pero de ko alam ano talga mas ok ! can you gusy post some pros and cons of both thx !

and btw ! pasama narin kung how much mga ganito ngayon i mean the price of cars 2nd hand and brand new para i have an idea ! thx a lot !

get the 06 STi

[R-A-Y]

get the 06 STi

In WRC form, it looks so hotttt

In street form, it looks like th local Optra

Still, with 422Nm of torque, it can easily distinguish itself as it pulls away with authority

[StiF4i]

heres the Spec C in stock look



I still like the 04-05 body better than the 06

That's not a very accurate analogy.  Actually, in the USAF and the IAF (Israel), the F-16's were used as the bombers and the F15's are used in the fighter's role (air superiority).  It's cuz the F-16 air-to-air capability is limited while the F-15's can carry twice the number of AAM's and have long-range, look-down/shoot down capability.  Top Gear UK should just stick to cars and leave the military hardware to Jane's Defense Weekly  

in terms of outright maneuverability, the F16 has it all over the F15.  the F15 is an air superiority fighter and can carry more ordinance, including some super high tech medium range air-to-air missiles.

but in a straight dog fight using guns, i believe the F16 is better than the F15.  though in terms of ceiling, top speed, the F15 is better on paper.

remember Top Gun (of course you do, panahon mo kasi yun hahaha!)?  for training, they were using A4 Skyhawks versus the F14's.  on paper, ang LAYO ng specs!  and in the real word, a fully-loaded F14 would pick an A4 out of the sky before the A4 could even engage the F14, because Tomcat was the only plane at the time that carried the Phoenix missile, and allowed F14 pilots to take out up to 6 targets at once, before those bogeys could get any sort of lock on the F14.

but in a close quarters dogfight, the A4's were more agile.

kinda like a 911 Turbo and a type-R.  on the 'Ring, its no contest, the Turbo would just blow the Honda away.  but on a tight circuit like BRC, suddenly the big, heavy (though powerful) supercar loses all its advantages.

now i'm sure THAT'S an analogy you can agree with yeah?  

sorry ang daldal ko nanaman!  coffee at midnight kasi!  hehehe

Hesperus has the fastest, scariest EVO 5 around BRC.  Scared the shit out of me last time i rode shotgun in it.  Thought we were gonna go off each time a corner came up, it accelerates like a rocket you can't just shut off!  hehe  

dude, it was scary not so much because of the power, but as i found out afterwards, my wheel alignment was WAY off!  i had my right rear wheel toed in, while my left rear wheel was toed OUT!

not to mention i stupidly put on a set of tires i had in storage for over 2 years, and the compound had hardened to be like plastic!

lots of power + f*cked up wheel alignment + gripless tires = NYAK!!!

no wonder it went sideways on me when i entered the main straight!  had to just floor it, wind on the lock pull it out!

the last time i took it there, had fresh neovas and proper alignment... that was more like it!
